Entering Rest by Belief
Hebrews 4:3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Hebrews 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Those who believe enter into a rest prepared by God, for the divine works were finished from the foundation of the world.
Neville's Inner Vision
Believing is not a wage paid to God; it is the turning of your attention to the fact that you are already in the state God offers. The works you feel you must perform are folded into a timeless blueprint, finished from the foundation of the world. When you say, 'I believe,' you align your whole consciousness with the I AM that does the unseen work. Rest, in this sense, is inner alignment—an ongoing quiet where effort dissolves into effortless assurance. The divine oath, 'As I have sworn in my wrath, they shall enter into my rest,' is a declaration of your inner nature’s immovable calm. To enter that rest, drop the picture of struggle and imagine your life as already completed in divine mind. Feel the present satisfaction of the outcome before it appears in form, and watch fear melt into confidence. You are not waiting for rest to come; you are assuming the state of rest and letting your world catch up.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume you are already in rest; whisper 'I am at rest now' until you feel it as real.
